Costerduo is a tiny wine estate and an artisanal project inspired by a passion for the Priorat region in Catalonia, and its authentic winemaking and viticulture tradition. They have worked with their own “singular” vineyards since 2016 in a constant search for the perfect expression of the extraordinary terroir of Priorat and only employing eco-friendly, organic practices
Costerduo - the wine - simply takes the same name as the winery - its flagship line in a style that seeks to reveal the freshest and most aromatic fruit of the Priorat terroir. Rich and bold, yet elegantly fresh, fragrant and refined,
A contemporary Priorat looking to highlight both modern and classic elements. Made from Carignan (61%) and Grenache (39%) sourced from Poboleda, which has a reputation of providing the freshest, lightest fruit within the region.
After a careful selection and manual harvest in 20-kg boxes, there follows – to avoid over extraction - a careful moderate maceration and malolactic fermentation. Then at least seven months aging in a mix of used and new French oak.
Costerduo’s estate is formed by three traditional vineyards in Torroja del Priorat, Escaladei and Poboleda, 1.9ha in total. Two of the three vineyards possess almost century-old vines in authentic ‘costers’ - old vineyards planted on very steep hills of crumbled slate.
Most of the vines are not trained, mainly of native Carignan variety, and grow like a bush vine on poor slate stone soils called ‘llicorella’. This type of soil barely retains any nutrients and water leading to relatively high concentrations of phenolics in grape skin, making together with Mediterranean and Priorat’s specific microclimate our red wines so unique.
High altitudes and steep slopes of Priorat’s vineyards make everything almost manual, from pruning to harvesting. The vineyards are worked in the best organic, eco-friendly and sustainable practices trying to preserve Priorat’s true nature and the heritage created by previous generations.
Founder Danilo Vladi, oenologist and winegrower, has always had a very personal vision of the world of wine: “With my wines I explore an ancient tradition trying to get closer to its deeper understanding and capture everything that is relevant to our terroir, pampering the vine and its beautiful fruit, with the aim of turning all that into a juice that is capable of surprising and leaving no one indifferent!”
